The late Hugh Stoneman was master printer established originally in London, then
Madron in Cornwall from 1995, Hugh Stoneman (1947-2005) was renowned for his
unique collaborations with national and international artists. Working in dialogue with
painters, photographers and sculptors, he ensured that, through the intrinsic artistic
qualities of print media, their work found new relationships between image and material.

Stoneman was one of the world's most important printmakers during the second half of
the 20th century and this superb publication contains works purchased by Falmouth Art
Gallery through the support of the Art Fund. This archive of 99 works, known as the
Art Fund Collection, is a selection of prints made at his studios in London and Penzance.
The majority of the prints were produced at his workshop in Cornwall when his
reputation was at its height and his skills were sought out by major contemporary artists
from all over the world.

The selection includes an excellent range of
painters, photographers, sculptors and ceramicists
Stoneman worked with.
